Just a few steps northeast of downtown Pittsburgh, along the Allegheny riverfront in the heart of the city, you will find the revitalized neighborhood of Lawrenceville.

At one time a downtrodden industrial area filled with smoky factory buildings, this neighborhood has been completely revived by a loyal community of businesspeople. These local owners of galleries, restaurants, shops, and clubs have turned modern Lawrenceville into one of the most sought after residential neighborhoods in the city.

Lawrenceville was founded in 1814 by William Foster. He named the area after Captain James Lawrence, hero of the War of 1812, who is famous for his dying words, "Don't Give Up The Ship!"

Today, everyone loves Lawrenceville. It has even been called a "go-to destination" by The New York Times. And with the prestigious Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC within its borders, Lawrenceville is an established and respected community in town.

People of all ages and backgrounds are flocking to this urban community because it has so much to offer, and the types of places you can live in Lawrenceville are as diverse as the residents. From row houses and townhouses lining city streets, to larger single family homes, you can find a wide range of housing options here.

Walkable and welcoming. Lively and engaging. Old-world charm with a modern-day edge. This is Lawrenceville. Are you ready to call it home?
